2.222 (587) Supreme Power Nighthawk #3 to 5 ...

 Steve Dillon has to be one of the most awesome comicbook artist ever. He draws generally very straightforward clean lineworks with almost no fancy camera angles. Almost everything is viewed from a straight to the front horizontal style and yet it works. Perhaps it is how he conveys emotions so well with but a few lines

Anyway, for some reason he always pairs with writers who writes the shit out of the violence in each comic book and here it is crazy

We have Nighthawk a guy who is an angry African American with no superpowers but dresses himself up and uses some gadgets kind of like a lame ass Batman type.

In this alternate universe, in this storyline, he goes up against an ordinary guy, a loser sort who decides for whatever reason to kill and so our hero has to stop him but this loser is not exactly stupid, see? Not only will he slice you up he loves a bit of the old poisoning too

And so Nighthawk finds that perhaps even an ordinary fellow can be an extraordinary man and perhaps he should quit being an angry man in crazy country

2.177 (542) Civil War Fallen Son The Death of Captain America: Wolverine #1 ... Marvel ...

In view of the forthcoming Civil War movie, we decided to take a little trip back to the original ending run of the first Marvel Civil War series (yes there is a new series with the same name). SPOILER ALERT

This series deals with the aftermath of that ... when Captain America surrendered, gave himself up for due process ... only to be shot dead in front of the world as he marched up the stairs ... so who shot him and why? And is he really dead (at that time)?

Well that's all answered later on in his own series and it led to some awesome stories. However, this particular issue is the first in the stages of Denial series ... and we get Wolverine as the lynchpin role here ... for some odd reason, this affected him tremendously and he goes out of his way to determine if the man who was shot was really Cap

And in his journey, we get glimpses of him joining Bucky the Winter Soldier and enlisting both Daredevil and Doctor Strange to penetrate the walls of SHIELD. He even encounters Iron Man and Hank Pym as Giant Man in his quest albeit at that time, they were the opposite Avengers team called Mighty Avengers while Wolvie was with Luke Cage's team called New Avengers

It is surprisingly a simple, sad journey ... wherein he concluded that what was before him was indeed that ... the body of Cap ... of course being Wolverine it doesn't end there even though this issue does as he promises to investigate to find out who really killed Cap since the official shooter in custody, Crossbones, a grunt for the Red Skull did shoot but did not deliver the kill shot
